Thanks to the relatives and friends of the vest for the golden reward, bow and salute.
**********************************
Li Dingguo was born in a poor farming family in Yulin, Shaanxi Province, and is now 28 years old. It's hard to imagine that he has been fighting for 18 years in his life.
In the era of war and chaos at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Dingguo was accepted as a righteous son by Zhang Xianzhong, and since then he has been fighting with Zhang Xianzhong in the north and south, when he was only 1o years old.
After Zhang Xianzhong raised his army, it was not all smooth sailing, often precarious, sometimes he was suppressed by the Ming army to only a few dozen people, a 1o-year-old child, can survive on the battlefield that is full of flames, which is a miracle in itself.
He is eight feet tall, handsome, well-behaved, known for his tolerance and benevolence in the brutal Great Western Army, he likes to read the art of war, since he was a teenager, he led tens of thousands of men and horses to fight, and when he was in battle, he took the lead in battle, and was extremely brave, known as "Little Captain Chi", "Ten Thousand Enemies", and was a wise and brave general in the Great Western Army.
Such a rare general froze him, Qin Mu felt very pity.
On this day, Qin Mu specially summoned Li Dingguo's father and son to the Yinghua Palace, Li Dingguo's son was 6 years old, and he looked a little uneasy and a little curious following Li Dingguo.
"Minister Li Dingguo, see His Majesty, see His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Li Qing is exempt from courtesy, come and give a seat."
Qin Mu smiled, looking at the kid behind Li Dingguo following his father and son to worship in a decent manner, the small appearance was quite flattering, Qin Mu beckoned to him with a pleasant face, he looked at his father worriedly, Li Dingguo encouraged in a low voice: "Your Majesty is calling, my son is going quickly." β
With the encouragement of his father, this kid walked in front of Qin Mu with small steps, knelt down and kowtowed, "Hello to Your Majesty." β
"Hehe, get up, come. Sue sΓΉζ what is your name? β
"Your Majesty, my name is Li Sixing." Seeing that Qin Mu was amiable, he was not so afraid.
This is the New Year, the child comes to kowtow, it is to give the New Year's money, Qin Mu didn't seem to be prepared, so he casually took off a piece of jade pendant on his body, and said with a smile: "Come, this is the New Year's money I gave you, I wish you to grow up quickly." In the future, like your father, you will be a good man who stands up to the sky. β
Li Dingguo saw it, and hurriedly got up and bowed: "Your Majesty, no, Your Majesty is equipped with jade, how can you be a dog, how can you receive this generous gift." β
Qin Mu waved his hand at him, and said with a smile to Li Sixing: "The elder gives it, you can't say goodbye." Come. Put it away. β
Li Dingguo didn't want to stop it again, knowing that Qin Mu's move was only afraid that it had another deep meaning, but he couldn't guess it for a while.
Qin Mu personally hung up the jade pendant for Li Sixing, and then asked him what books he had read. Li Sixing replied one by one, and also recited a three-character scripture to Qin Mu, and when he finished reciting it, Qin Mu praised him a few more words. Only then did he pat Qin Ye, who was sitting beside him, and said, "Ye'er, you take the Li family's brother to go shopping, you are the master." You want to entertain the Li family's brother, you know? β
Qin Ye is only three and a half years old, but he is trained by Yang Zhi to be very sensible, and he usually has no children to play with him in the palace, so he was very happy to see Li Sixing, who was a little older than him, and replied crisply: "Father, I want to take the Li family brother to see Aunt Yun's parrot, is it okay?" β
Qin Mu said with a smile: "Yes, as long as you don't leave the palace, you can go wherever you want to play today, wait for my father to ask your mother to tell you that I will give you a day off today and let you have enough fun, hahaha." β
"Thank you, father, thank you" Qin Ye was overjoyed, turned his head and boasted to Li Sixing about how fun the parrot raised by his Aunt Yun was, and then pulled Li Sixing and ran out of the hall, Han Zanzhou hurriedly took a few eunuchs and palace maids to follow.
Qin Mu turned around and smiled at Li Dingguo: "Li Qing, don't worry, there are palace people watching, and you won't lose your precious son." β
"Your Majesty said that it was funny, and the minister was just worried that the dog was not sensible and offended His Royal Highness the Prince."
"Little child, it doesn't hurt even if you fight, hahaha the prince is usually in the palace, and he doesn't have a companion, I see that this kid in your family is good, smart and clever, if Li Qing is willing, how about letting him accompany the prince to study?"
"Your Majesty, the dog is too stubborn, and the minister is worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be contaminated with his bad habits." Of course, Li Dingguo knew what it meant to accompany the prince to study, but he was afraid that the ministers where he was located dreamed that his son had such an opportunity.
"Li Qing doesn't have to be humble, let's let them play together for a long time, if they fall in love, this matter will be decided."
"ιxiΓ "
Qin Mu waved his hand again and said: "There are no outsiders today, so let's just say it, the reorganization of the Northwest Army is indeed a routine move, can Li Qing understand this?" β
Li Dingguo hurriedly got up and bowed: "Your Majesty, as the so-called whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister." His Majesty wants to reorganize the northwest soldiers and horses in order to enhance the combat power of the northwest soldiers and horses, how dare the minister disagree. β
When he first heard that the Ministry of War was vigorously reorganizing their subordinates, Li Dingguo was indeed uneasy, but later Qin Mu was relieved to let Ai Nengqi be the commander of the Southern Expedition, which had released a very clear goodwill, and today he specially summoned his father and son to come, which was a further expression of goodwill, how could Li Dingguo not know how to advance and retreat.
"It's good that Li Qing can think like this, get up, what does Li Qingru think about the Dzungar Ministry's invasion of the Yarkand Khanate?"
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that once the Dzungar Department annexes the Yarkand Khanate, it will become a great disaster in my northwest."
Qin Mu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Li Qing thinks that how I deal with the situation is the best policy. β
Li Dingguo obviously thought deeply about this matter, and he replied confidently: "Your Majesty, to hold Hexi, and even to open up the Western Regions, cavalry is the key.
Therefore, I would like to think that at present, we should focus on Monan and integrate Monan Mongolia as much as possible for my use. In addition, if Mo Nan continues to be like a plate of scattered sand, it will definitely attract the Dzungar Ministry to watch, and based on these two points, the minister thinks that the integration of Mo Nan is really the most important task of our dynasty. β
Qin Mu was very satisfied with Li Dingguo's opinion, if he could really integrate Monan Mongolia as he said, on the one hand, it could prevent the Dzungar Ministry from taking advantage of the chaos to invade Monan, and second, it could use Monan Mongolia as an arm.
In the original history, without the support of Monan Mongolia, Kangxi would not have been able to defeat Dzungardan. It can be seen from this that Li Dingguo's thinking is absolutely correct.
"Apart from Mo Nan, what else does Li Qing have in mind?"
"Your Majesty, we must beware of the Qinghai-Tibet Heshuo Special Department and the Dzungar Department being united, and His Majesty is far-sighted, which has already sent envoys in Xijing. But the minister has been thinking about this matter these days, and he feels that it is not enough to just send an envoy to show goodwill. These tribes have always been mercenary, and it is difficult to guarantee that the First Khan will not unite with the Dzungar tribe for their own interests. β
"What is Li Qing's good plan?"
"Your Majesty, you must provoke a dispute between the Heshute Department and the Dzungar Department, so that it is possible to prevent them from uniting, Your Majesty, Chen Jian Yiì sealed the First Khan as the king of the Western Regions, or it may work."
"Isn't that too obvious?" Qin Mu asked thoughtfully, what Li Dingguo meant was nothing more than using the Western Regions as bait to let the two tigers of the Heshuo Special Department and the Dzungar Department kill each other.
"Your Majesty, the key depends on whether Gushi Khan is willing to accept the canonization of Great Qin, if he is willing to accept it, it will be easy to do it; If I don't accept it, things won't get any worse for me Daqin. β
Qin Mu shook his chin lightly and said, "Li Qing, the situation in the northwest is changing rapidly, although there must be a general in charge. Li Qing will work hard for a few more years, and go to Lanzhou as much as possible. On the Xijing side, I will also send a capable minister to assist Li Qing. β
As soon as Qin Mu finished speaking, Li Dingguo immediately got up again and bowed: "Your Majesty, the situation in the northwest is unpredictable, and the ministers are foolish, so it is not enough to take on this great task, and I hope that Your Majesty can choose another good general to go to Hexi." β
Qin Mu looked at him quietly for a few seconds and said nothing.
Li Dingguo lay on the ground, not daring to move a little, listening to the thunder in a silent place, his heart beating rapidly. The so-called emperor's mental technique, no one can guess it, and he doesn't know if Qin Mu intends to test him, if it is not good, it may be a matter of losing his head.
After a while, Qin Mu said in reverse: "Li Qing can't believe me? β
This made Li Dingguo even more uneasy, and a fine sweat oozed from his back: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare, His Majesty treats the minister's kindness as heavy as a mountain, and the minister is only in his life to repay his body and bones, how dare he not believe in His Majesty, it's just"
"It doesn't have to be just, I, I can trust you, it depends on whether Li Qing can trust me or not."
"Minister, ten thousand deaths!"
Among the five major governors of the Qin army, Li Dingguo and Li Guo were both from Shaanxi, and had fought in the northwest for a long time.
For Li Guo, Qin Mu still has doubts in his heart, it is impossible to let him go back to the northwest to command the army, and the best choice at the moment is only Li Dingguo.
"Li Qing, please get up, the situation in the northwest is not optimistic, after the Lantern Festival, you can go back to the northwest, the safety of the northwest will be handed over to Li Qing." Qin Mu's voice softened, with anticipation in his eyes.
Li Dingguo had mixed feelings in his heart, if it was another emperor, he would never let him go back to the northwest at this time, Qin Mu could let him go back at this time, this trust was indeed extraordinary, he solemnly bowed three times and knocked nine times with tears in his eyes: "Repay the king's intention on the golden platform, and carry the jade dragon to die for the king." β
